Very nice church! Did you try layering two layers to prevent blow outs from the windows?
Suggest to crop out the bottom, so that you can have a greater semblance of symmetry... Like maybe until the start of the benches where there is no missing bench on the left.
Love the earlier fog pictures as well. Did you try a longer isolated shot of the mountain layers for #90?

Sad to say only one shot of the church from the interior
Never thought of getting one more shot to bring back the burnt highlights that time. As for the morning fog shot in #90, the sun was pretty high up that time already and light were spilling all over. I did burn back some of the areas but unfortunately still can't get back more details. If I had taken one more shot underexposed for the mountains, may have worked but not sure under that kind of lighting conditions could it be done as the sun rays were spilling over. If earlier that the time I took that shot would have been good.

24-09-11: From Wiki: "...The Lavaux is a region in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland, in the district of Lavaux. Although there is some evidence that vines were grown in the area in Roman times, the actual vine terraces can be traced back to the 11th century, when Benedictine and Cistercian monasteries controlled the area. The Lavaux consist of 830 hectares of terraced wineyards that stretch for about 30 km along the south-facing northern shores of Lake Geneva...". One reason I chose to take a hike through here was for the beautiful vineyards and architecture set against the backdrop of Lake Geneva and the Alps. Also a World UNESCO Heritage Site, this place is full of history and culture.

24-09-11: We read a lot about hiking in Lavaux vineyards and no wonder this was no surprise when we passed by this winery and the owner offered us a wine each to quench our thirst and introduce us around his facilities. The owner is local, wife from Australia but later come back to Swiss with wife as he cannot stand the weather in outback. Lol...

24-09-11: The last hike back to Vevey was really ardous. My wife was complaining of the hot sun, the painful feet blah blah... I treated her Asian cuisine and after which, I went on walkabout Vevey shooting around again. Lol... This was taken at a junction in the hot mid afternoon.

24-09-11: Seems like a fork drop from outer space into Lake Geneva. Located just across the Musée de l’Alimentation (Nestlé Alimentarium), a museum devoted to the history of food products. The fork is in commemoration of its 10th anniversary, and so it is not a permanent structure. Not sure when it will be removed but its looking really unique against the backdrop of mountains.

Who knows there may be a giant fish at the tip of the fork under the water? :bsmilie: Lovely take.
You do have really creative ideas. Lol... I never thought of that. But after saying, it maybe the legendary Lochness monster has migrated there and the almighty Thor changed weapon and thundered a fork down to hold it there. Wahaha...
